This manga was an interesting blend of genres combining the harem, school, romance, and vampire elements to create a unique story that was an entertaining ride from the beginning to the end of the first season. The chapters were flowing smoothly and weren't at different time periods in order to help narration keep steady and the story told was complex with each chapter revealing new characters and diving into the backstories for respective characters with some characters subverting their roles and actually having character development happen over the course of the story unfolding. The way they used each of elements with the comedy between the ... girls relationship to Tsukune has some good laughs and smiles along with how the mystery of each new reveal for it to be later told in the next chapters was really cool and promising. Surprisingly it wasn't filled with ecchi throughout the story but only happening in certain moments usually for some laughs which made it more desirable when it did show up.

The art that this mangaka went for was really nice as it gave some unique characteristics for the characters along with their monster designs that help leave lasting impressions after you finish reading the chapter. The art style definitely helped fit the mood of the story that he was trying to go for with the girls being beautiful in their own respective ways and their personalities can help reflect that in ways that probably wouldn't have been expected.

Where i think this story has the biggest strength going for it is the characters as they have flaws and strengths so that's it's not fairly unbalanced or simply utter mindless entertainment. With characters like Moka, Kurumu, and Tsukune having their own flaws that are revealed later on but it makes their story more human and relatable to a sense. The antics that the MC and the friends he makes is what is really cool and why I enjoyed it the most coming into it, It's simply not like any other manga out there but It helps make it stand out from the crowd of various mangas available to read.

I think others would potentially enjoy it for those main reasons i listed above and how it blends something unique over the course of the forty chapters as there'll never be a dull moment and it would potentially result in a binge read session. The story along with the art would make it special that non manga fans would definitely want to dive in for the deeper development of the characters and stuff that the anime has potential on skimming over or ignoring. I definitely would love to own this in my library and lend it to friends that may have never heard of it and want to give it a read. I'll gladly remember it for as long as i read and watch more manga in the future.
